Endometrial (Uterine) Cancer
Overview
Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, develops in the lining of the uterus called the endometrium. It is the most common gynecological cancer and is often detected at an early stage due to noticeable symptoms, allowing for effective treatment and favorable outcomes.
Symptoms
The most common symptom of endometrial cancer is abnormal uterine bleeding. Other symptoms may include bleeding after menopause, heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, pain during intercourse, and unexplained weight loss in advanced stages.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for endometrial cancer include increasing age, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalance with excess estrogen, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), early menstruation or late menopause, family history of uterine or colorectal cancer, and genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome.
